What was seen on the home front  1941-42…

Thanksgiving during WWII…

They’re celebrating Thanksgiving on this very day,
My thoughts are at home, though I’m far away;
I can see everyone, eating dinner deluxe,
Whether it be chicken, turkey or even duck;
The fellows over here won’t whimper or moan,
They’ll look to the next one and hope to be home.

They want you to be happy and enjoy your feast.
These holidays are remembered by one and all,
Those happy days we can always recall.
The ones in the future, will be happier, I know
When we all come back from defeating the foe.

For those of you who live where…

    Thought of you: http://www.theoldfoodie.com/. Dunno about that pineapple and cheese salad, but the effort put forth to give the soldiers a real thanksgiving meal is very heartwarming.
